App Store Scraper — Apple App Details & Search API

Search the Apple App Store by keyword, or look up any app by URL, ID or bundle ID. Returns ratings, rating counts, price, version, release dates, size, genres, languages and screenshots as clean JSON.

Quick start: press Start with no configuration at all. The Actor ships with a working default search and returns 25 apps immediately. Then swap in your own keyword or app list.

Sample output

title	developer	rating	ratingCount	formattedPrice	primaryGenre	version	currentVersionReleaseDate	searchRank
Streaks	Crunchy Bagel	4.7	21,884	$5.99	Health & Fitness	8.4.1	2026-08-12	1
Habitica	HabitRPG, Inc.	4.4	43,102	Free	Productivity	4.9.0	2026-07-30	2

Every row also carries appId, bundleId, url, developerId, developerUrl, description, releaseNotes, isFree, currency, contentRating, minimumOsVersion, fileSizeBytes, genres, languages, icon and screenshots.

What you can do with it

• App Store Optimisation. Run the same keyword across countries and see who ranks where. searchRank is the position Apple's own search returned, so you can track keyword movement over time.
• Competitor tracking. Feed a list of rival app IDs and watch rating, rating count, price and version on a schedule. A sudden rating drop or a price change is a signal you want the same day.
• Market research. Search a category term in ten storefronts and compare pricing, ratings and localisation depth before you build anything.
• Enrich a spreadsheet. Have a list of bundle IDs from an MDM export or an ad platform? Look them all up in one run and get titles, developers and current versions back.
• Feed an AI agent. Rows are capped in size by default so an LLM can read a full result set without its context filling up.

Input

Field	Default	Notes
searchQuery	habit tracker	Used only when no specific apps are listed. Works exactly like the App Store search box.
appStoreUrlsOrIds	empty	Look up exact apps instead of searching. URL, numeric ID or bundle ID.
countries	["us"]	Two-letter storefront codes. Prices, rankings and availability differ per country.
maxApps	25	Per country. Apple returns at most 200 search results.
deviceType	software	software iPhone, iPadSoftware iPad, macSoftware Mac App Store.
includeFullText	false	Off by default: descriptions are trimmed to a 600-character preview and screenshots capped at 3, so rows stay small. Turn on for the complete text.

How it works, and why it keeps working

This Actor reads Apple's official public iTunes Search and Lookup APIs. No HTML parsing, no login, no proxy. Apple can redesign the App Store and this Actor keeps returning the same fields — which is why it is not on the maintenance treadmill that breaks most scrapers.

Requests are rate-limited below Apple's documented threshold, so a large multi-country run completes instead of getting throttled half-way and handing you a partial dataset.

Limits worth knowing before you buy

Apple returns at most 200 search results per keyword per country. Looking up a specific app in a country where it is not published returns nothing for that country — the run still succeeds and tells you which lookups came up empty. Bundle IDs must be exact; a partial bundle ID will not match.

Pricing

Pay per app record delivered. A run that finds nothing charges you nothing.

Disclaimer

This is an unofficial tool. It is not affiliated with, authorised by, endorsed by, or in any way officially connected to Apple Inc. "Apple", "App Store", "iOS", "iPadOS" and "macOS" are trademarks of Apple Inc.

It reads only Apple's public, unauthenticated endpoints — the iTunes Search and Lookup APIs and the public RSS feeds. It signs into nothing, stores no credentials, and parses no HTML. Nothing it returns is behind a login or a paywall, and every field it returns is data the App Store already shows to anyone.

Apple can change or withdraw those endpoints at any time. When a feed returns nothing, this Actor says so in the log rather than handing you an empty result that looks like an answer.
